<h1>Creating and using custom colors</h1>
<p>Any custom colors you create are saved in the User Palette at the bottom 
 of the Advanced Color Picker, so you can share and re-use the new colors 
 among different documents.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: Your User Palette of custom 
 colors is also available when you work with standard reports, since it 
 is saved as a user preference in MicroStrategy Web.</p>
<p class="whs1"><img src="images/user_palette.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="183px" height="192px" border="0" class="img_whs2"></p>
<p>The user palette holds up to eight colors. If you add a ninth color, 
 it replaces the first color added to the palette. The user palette does 
 not display until you add a custom color.</p>
<h2>To create and save a custom color</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs3">

 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select a control and then open the color picker in any 
 of the following ways: </p></li>
